Question for you. Are you using a user account or the original account that
you created when you installed Vista? I also ran into a simular situation
where I created a normal account and downloaded something but it didn't
appear in my download folder where I directed it to even after entering my
admin password to allow that file to download. I tried logging onto the
account that I used when I installed Vista and redownloaded the file and it
was there.
